The Patient Priority: A Practical Guide to Value-Based Healthcare

By Stefan Larsson, Jennifer Clawson, Josh Kellar, Robert Howard

In the ever-evolving landscape of healthcare, the need for value-based care has become increasingly apparent. In their book, The Patient Priority: A Practical Guide to Value-Based Healthcare, the thought leaders at Boston Consulting Group provide valuable insights into how leading health systems worldwide are delivering patient-centered, value-based care by focusing on the health outcomes that matter most to patients.

Traditional approaches to healthcare reform have primarily focused on cost containment. However, the authors argue that a shift towards value-based healthcare, which emphasizes continuous improvement in patient outcomes, is the key to solving the current crises facing the global health sector. By systematically measuring, tracking, and improving health outcomes over time, health systems can transform the way care is delivered.

Value-based healthcare has numerous benefits. Firstly, it allows health systems to consistently deliver better patient outcomes and overall population health. By identifying and disseminating best-practice diagnoses and treatments more rapidly, healthcare providers can ensure that patients receive the most effective care possible. Additionally, value-based healthcare can help control costs by eliminating unnecessary procedures, reducing expensive complications, and avoiding repeat treatments. Lastly, by aligning system performance goals with professional purpose, value-based healthcare can rebuild trust and motivate health professionals.

To achieve sustainable cost containment and fulfill its mission, the healthcare sector must prioritize patients and focus on delivering outcomes that matter to them. By aligning incentives around the continuous improvement of health outcomes in a cost-effective manner, the industry can unlock value and bring about significant improvements in productivity, performance, and population health.

The Patient Priority is a practical step-by-step guide for clinicians, payers, policymakers, and other industry stakeholders. Written by thought leaders at Boston Consulting Group, it presents powerful case studies of leading value-based innovators from both high- and low-income countries, showcasing how the concept of value-based healthcare can be put into practice. The book also provides a detailed road map for the comprehensive value-based transformation of national health systems.

This indispensable tool aims to launch a new era of patient-centered innovation, unlocking value in healthcare and driving step-function improvements in productivity, performance, and population health.
